The Cambridge professor, highlighting the decision by the largely pro-DEI left-wing Labour government to scrap the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023, went on to warn that universities will merely be the canary in the coal mine for a broader attack on freedom of speech throughout society.
He wrote: “Will freedom of speech be ever more restricted by a system of taboos about minority groups? When lecturers are silenced, because their views are unpopular, the whole of society becomes less free; and less free still when academics can no longer pursue their traditional goal and of seeking knowledge.”
